Cleveland's appointment of Mr.. E. A.
Preuss as Postmaster of Los Angeles.
The Express does not so much object to
Mr.. Preuss's appointment on the ground
of his capacity to fill the office as it does

Democrat. II is to Mr.. Prtuss's credit as
Democrat that his appointment does
not satisfy the Republican side of the

MIKE LASAGAS's RESCUE.
Reminiscencc OF tho Good old
steamer Roustnbout

Steamer NouEtnbout
"Talkipg of life.preservers, said
the truthful mariner. as he knocked
the ashes out of his pipe, lyon rcmcm.
Der the old steamer Roustabput that
used to run from Buffalo to Chlcago2
/ was mate on her the year before she
was lost. We were about sixty miles
out from Chicago when Mike Lanagan,
who was doing something up on the
mast, fell, struck on his head on the
roof of the cabin and bounced clean
out into the lake. Well, the captain
he see him fall and he stopped aud
backed that old Roustabout quicker n
you could say scat Mike went down
like plummet for he was knocked
insensible, and know'd there was no
use TO heavc life prcserver for him,
so just hurried up the boys in getting
the boat down, although | dlln't cX
peCt II 'ud do much good. We had
jim King on board. Passenger from
Chicago. You remember jim King,
don't youY'
Cant say that l do" remarked a
bystandcr.
"Well, jim was champion qu Ut
thrower in them days. Hes dead,
now, poor fellow, but Jim was hoss
on throwing quoits. tell you quoils
was great game them days. Every
village had quote club, and the boys
on the farms used to throw horseshOcs.
1t was something like baseball in those
times, although | never could see as
much fun in baseball as could see in
a game o. quoits,"
"Oh, come of, >" cried the impatient
listener. "What did Jim do2 or. did
he do anything? Did the man drown ?"
"Now, don't be too fly. WHO'S tell
ing this yarn p
well, you don't seem to be-
Go on Go on !" said the crowd
"Well, you know in quoits n ringer
was when you put the QUOT round the
stake. 1t counted double. Well, jim,
he picks up the round life. .preservei
it's like great big quot, you know,
and as the cap'n came running aft jim
he sings out; "Cap'n, I'll bet you So
I'll make ringer on that man If he
comes up within the length Of this
line"
"Bet you 500 you can't" sald the
cop'n;,
"'Takc you, said jim, and just
thet mint up bobs Mikes head, about
sixty feet astern. Jim threw, and I'll
be durned if that life preserver didn't
20 plump over on Mikes head, clear
down his shoulders, and there ii stuck.
We got down the boat, and when we
got to Nike he hadn't come too yet,
and didn' for some time. He'd been
o goner II It hadn't been fur that
ringer, although it took the skin often
his nose"
"Did the captain pay the $2O?"
PAY 1t? You jist bet he did. And
Jim he handed 1t over to Mike, and
Mike he blew it all in when he got to
Detroit. / wish some OF 1t was here
now, fur I'm mighty dry. Thanks,
Don't mind II | do."-[ Detroit Free

WASHINGTON CRITIC
WASHINGTON, AUGUST Is, lss7.
A MIDsumMrs MgMOuY.

We eat beneath our trysting tree,
The brooklet babbled at our feet,
My bride you promised soon to be,
My bride when we again should meet.
Twas In the ilowery month OF June,
Attwilights soft aud silent hour,
We heard the streamlet's rippling tune,
Felt In our souls mystic power.
Your little hand was laid In mine,
teardrop trembled on your cheek,
We could each others thought divine,
But dared not trust ourselves to speak.
All, we a deep foreboding knew,
a heavy sadness pressed each heart,
We closer to each other drew,
AS II we nevermore could part.
In fragrant robes with breath all sweet,
The eve came softly o'er the vale,
Whilefrom our love e-enchanted seat,
We heard the pensive nightingale.
Then evening closed her dusky bar,
And all was calm, and sweet and still,
And DER shone loves beauteous star,
As II with hope our souls to flll.
All, fruitless bopel Beneath our tree,
We parted, but to meet no more,
Until my spirit goes to thee,
To clasp thee ON the heavenly shore.
Yet, that hour shall meier forget,
Though many years have passed sine
then,
IT'S fresh within my memory yet,
Each June revives that scene again.
